Beef Egg Rolls

Dish Description
Crispy fried egg rolls stuffed with ground beef, cabbage, and delicious seasonings. A personal creation of mine that goes well with any Chinese dish. The sherry makes it better.
Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sherry
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 large head cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sherry
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 quarts vegetable oil for deep frying
  • 1 (16 ounce) package egg roll wrappers

Directions
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown beef, then mix in onion, garlic, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 2 tablespoons sherry, and ginger. Continue to saute just until onions are tender. Transfer mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, saute cabbage with water, 1 tablespoon oil, sugar, and remaining soy sauce, sherry, salt, and pepper. Continue to saute until cabbage is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Return meat mixture to pan and stir together with cabbage over low heat until heated through. Remove from heat.
  • Pour oil into a deep pan and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fill each egg roll wrapper with approximately 1/4 cup of filling and roll up according to package directions. Fry in preheated oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
